Patient Characteristics Retrospectively Analyzed 23659 Consecutive Patients with resting Echo From Saint Louis University and University of Nebraska Short Term Follow-Up 24 Hrs. Non-Fatal Myocardial Infarctions & Death From All Causes 30 Min.

Summary 1.The risk of both short-term and long-term events, defined as non-fatal myocardial infarction and death, following contrast administration during resting echo is very low. Not different from non-contrast studies. 1.The risk of both short-term and long-term events, defined as non-fatal myocardial infarction and death, following contrast administration during resting echo is very low.
